    I really need to find a way to have AVD prompt *every* time a user logs on to their session for MS MFA. Cannot figure out how to do that with Conditional Access policy. A client we have in AVD is used to an MFA prompt for every PC login and expect to see that in AVD as well. Its psychological but regardless I have heard its possible. If we use the default Enforce MFA CAP if we have another policy just for AVD apps and choose "Every time" as a condition it still does not work. Any thoughts?

    How can I get a static IP address assigned to a group of W365 Enterprise PC's that are connected to an Azure virtual network? We need for all the CPC's to appear to have the same external Azure static Ip address. We are able to do this with our AVD deployment using a Azure Load Balancer but cant attach the W365 CPC's to the Load balancer.

    In addition to the questions posted on this page, we also answer questions posted in reply to the event on LinkedIn and X (Twitter) -- as well as open questions in the Windows 365 community. Here are the questions we answered today:

    From Tech community -- How can I see what region the Windows 365 Cloud PC is deployed into? - answered at 6:05

    From Tech community -- Is there a recommended method to connect from another allowed region, other than the one the PC is provisioned in? - answered at 14:55

    From X -- Can we use an on-prem domain controller for hybrid joined W365 PCs, or does it have to be an Azure DC? - answered at 27:45

    From LinkedIn -- Can we have pooled AVD instances spread across multiple regions - like US and India - part of the same hostpool? - answered at 38:05

    From LinkedIn -- Is it possible to get the CPU type/model info for a W365 CPC? - answered at 43:20

    From LinkedIn -- It is recommended to use AVD SSO in a BYOD scenario? Since there is not a managed endpoint, there is no control over the Entra ID token being stored on the endpoint. - answered at 49:20
